jaybrundage United States3921 Posts July 01 2014 08:04 GMT #681 quick question I have much gems. how do i use these things I understand they can be used for spells but idk. I guess im asking what the best use is for them.

mahrgell Germany3943 Posts July 01 2014 08:11 GMT #682 all kind of rituals from your research, summons (basically a special form of ritual), high end battle magic, forging items Always depends on your needs

mahrgell Germany3943 Posts July 01 2014 08:38 GMT #683 checked those pretenders you were talking about.... WHOA Flying, Awe, High Fire+Shock resist, 50 HP, Invul 15, generating gems and full slots... For 0 cost. And no real drawback. Dom2 is okay, the Astral can be considered to induce some costs (as you pretty much have to bring it to 6), but high Astral has awesome uses, and Caelum lacks FS completely, while Ragha also has no good Astral, so it complements those well... Hell, even for 75 points, I would probably take that chassis.

entropius United States1046 Posts July 01 2014 13:25 GMT #684 I think we need to either quickly mod the costs on those chassis or ban them, tbh, if we start another game.

entropius United States1046 Posts July 01 2014 13:26 GMT #685 Machaka: Don't move into 34. It will end badly for you if you do. Note the part where I didn't attack your lightly-defended provinces? That's because I'm friendly. =)

Icapica Finland206 Posts July 01 2014 13:42 GMT #686 entropius: Don't worry, Machaka isn't planning to attack anywhere right now. A few turns in a row I've had nasty events with barbarians attacking my provinces. Also my army next to 34 is going to another province of mine because of some other event. jaybrundage: It depends entirely on the situation etc, but as a fellow newbie I've found it useful to go to army setup, select some mages you have, choose "cast a specific spell" and go browse what they can do. The spell description says if they require some gems. Then if there's some really useful seeming spells, you can script the mage to cast them and give them the appropriate gems. A couple of good scripted spells can be very important. If you tick the "conservative magic gem usage" box, the mage won't use gems for anything you didn't script. Other than that, in combat the mages can use gems to reduce fatigue or to temporarily increase their magic level in a certain style. For example, a level 1 fire mage could consume a fire gem to cast a level 2 fire spell that turn. Other than combat, your mages can cast ritual spells or forge items in provinces where you have a lab. You should check those options too. The ritual spells include summons that can give you quickly some very useful units. Anyone can feel free to correct me if anything I said was slightly wrong.

Kronen United States732 Posts July 01 2014 14:18 GMT #687 I'm totally up for being a disciple. Currently a good portion through the manual. There's so much in this game it's ridiculous!

entropius United States1046 Posts July 01 2014 14:37 GMT #688 Seems like the silliness from disciple games mostly comes from the fact that the disciple comes out awake and doesn't need to pay for domstrength or scales, so you can get huge blesses and SC's on the disciples?

Icapica Finland206 Posts July 01 2014 14:41 GMT #689 Also if there's only two teams against each other, it becomes much more viable to go all in on an early bless rush to kill another player. You'll be weaker too, but it won't matter since the game isn't a free for all.

Sunaj Canada2041 Posts July 01 2014 14:43 GMT #690 Yeah, I mean, you could still divvy up the teams to be more smaller teams, but it's still gonna make diplo less entertaining IMO

Icapica Finland206 Posts July 01 2014 15:19 GMT #691 Lord Tolkien: I'd like to switch my choice from LA Marignon to Atlantis.

Sunaj Canada2041 Posts July 01 2014 15:21 GMT #692 I already gots da Atlantis friend Look on the last page

Icapica Finland206 Posts July 01 2014 15:31 GMT #693 Oops, I'm blind. Oh well, I'll stick to Marignon then.

ShloobeR Korea (South)3820 Posts July 01 2014 17:14 GMT #694 I'm still not sure who to play as in LA the only LA faction that looked interesting to me was Pangaea but it's already taken. I'll try to give an answer tomorrow but I guess it'll be either Acro or Pyth

lpunatic 235 Posts July 01 2014 21:32 GMT #695 Are horrors usually this strong?

Sunaj Canada2041 Posts July 01 2014 21:56 GMT #696 Yeah, Horrors really are that terrifying.

Sunaj Canada2041 Posts July 01 2014 23:41 GMT #700 Actually, I think I'mma go with C'tis for the LA game, so Atlantis is open Icapica. *edit actually nvm again, think I'mma stick with Atlantis, sorry to be flip flopping
